Kaze no Stigma:Ignition Volume1 Chapter 2
Kaze no Stigma Ignition 1 Chapter 2 Meeting upon a dream
“I have always loved you.”
Kazuma says gently, hugging Ayano strongly at the same time.
“In this entire world, you are the only one I love------ I will never let you go again.”
“Kazuma……”
Ayano who is choking from the hug, uses wet eyes to look at Kazuma.
“Me too, I have always------”
Half way through her sentence, Ayano instead used eyes filled with emotions to transmit her feelings across.
There is no need for words any further. In response to Kazuma who is closing in towards her, Ayano closes her eyes gently.
Then------
“Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”
Ayano flips her blankets over quickly, she jumps up as if she was struck by lightning, a powerful scream coming out from her mouth.
The shriek that came along with dawn, spread across every corner of the Kannagi residence.
The Kannagi clan is a clan of En-jutsushis that are allied with the flame spirits, and are capable of controlling flames freely. For a thousand years, they have relied on their cleansing flames to eliminate all kinds of ghouls and demons, protecting people from harm.
The job they took on this time, is just like one of the countless missions they have had in the past. But------
“------Oh?”
“Good morning, onii-san.”
With the appearance of an unexpected guest, Kazuma Yagami seems a little surprised. Kannagi Ren on the other hand, greets him.
Kazuma shifts his glance towards the other girl. She is the one who brought Ren along.
“Why is Ren here? Ayano.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
The girl------ Ayano Kannagi says immediately.
“It is about time for Ren to learn to take on jobs.”
“-------Even though that is true……”
“Since you agree, just shut up.”
After Kazuma nods, Ayano responses coldly, and then turns her head away in disdain.
Seeing that rejecting attitude, Kazuma and Ren throws a glance at each other.
Even though their surnames are different, they are brothers after all. Kazuma was exiled from their family four years ago, and after a series of events, he is now employed under the Kannagi, assisting the clan in their work.
On a side note, this pair of brothers are distant relatives of Ayano, but that is not important.
“Ayano seems to be in a bad mood today------ Is it because of that period?”
Kazuma whispers quietly like a bad kid making horny jokes by his twelve year old brother. But, his voice is a little too loud. After Ayano heard that, a big green nerve bursts out at her temple.
“------ I don’t know about that.”
Ren watches all these with a glance at the side of his eyes, replying calmly. He did it just so as to not get dragged into their quarrels, yet Kazuma seems even more enthusiastic:
“Or to say, because it didn’t come, that is why she is throwing a tantrum?”
“Onii-san!”
Ren shouts painfully, but no matter what, this fatal speech cannot be taken back. The sorrowful sighing boy, his collar seems to be grabbed by someone, and forcefully pulls him away from Kazuma.
Shortly after that------
“Go to hell!!”
Ayano uses her left hand to pull Ren over, and with the counter-force that comes with it, she reaches her right hand out. Her right hand quickly reaches beyond the original distance it is capable of, and continues to stretch forward.
Its color being bright red.
“Hey hey!”
That is a forward going crimson red blade that is engulfed in golden flames. Just as the strike is about to pierce through between his eyebrows, Kazuma shifts his head slightly and dodges it easily.
This sword is the priced treasure of the Kannagi clan “Enraiha”------ the one and only exorcising sword that is said to be bestowed upon by the Spirit Lord of Flames himself. Definitely not a weapon to be used against a guy with really perverse jokes.
“Isn’t that too dangerous?”
Kazuma complains naturally. But, Ayano would not accept any of it.
“Ren is still just a primary school kid, what the hell are you teaching him!?”
“No, I am just emphasizing on the importance of contraceptives, and using a failed example on it while at it.”
“Who the hell failed!? How dare you slander a pure girl!”
Ayano shouts out loudly, while waving the Enraiha in her hand. Faced against the fierce, deadly and rough attacks that would burn one to a crisp accidentally, Kazuma simply dodges with ease.
“Don’t run!”
Ayano raises Enraiha high, and swings it down with force. Yet, Kazuma dodges this strike easily, and took the opportunity to stick close to the opponent, grabbing Ayano’s wrist at one go.
“------------!”
Seeing Kazuma’s face so close, Ayano can’t help but recall her nightmare just this morning.
Tightly holding her arms, the sweet whispers that spreads into her ears, and, those lips that closes in slowly------
“……Wahhhhhhhhh!!”
The volume that came out from the girl’s mouth, is enough to make a building under construction collapse.
Ayano looks at Kazuma angrily with a blush on her face, using all the might she can muster to grab onto Enraiha. The flames that wrap around the blade now shines even more brightly.
“Don’t…… Don’t come near me! Get away from me! Pervert!!”
Even though she says that, but Ayano is waving Enraiha all around, preventing Kazuma from getting away.
Seeing Ayano enter an insane state, Kazuma was surprised.
“What is going on?”
He dodges as he asks Ren at the side. However, the young boy is currently facing them with his back, his elbow at the window ledge, looking at the sunset with a sorrowful look on his face.
------Seems like he has set his mind up to treat us as strangers.
“Where are you looking at! Knowing that your brother is in trouble, yet to turn a deaf ear to me, is that okay with you!? Hey!”
Even though Kazuma is yelling for help, but Ren still continues to ignore the argument between the two.
“Ahh, the sun is about to set…… But, just what am I doing here……”
Looking at the distant sunset, Ren grumbles sorrowfully.
---------After three minutes.
“……huu……huu…….” [Sound of panting]
The breathless Ayano, places her entire body weight on the ground and sits down. As for the similarly breathless Kazuma, he is looking at this scene with a surprised look on his face.
Because Ayano, as the next Soushu, even after vigorous training, but after consistently engaging in vigorous anaerobic exercises in her fury, no one can hold on. If she even has thirty percent of her strength left, that would really be something.
“------Gee, to be this tired even before we start our work.”
“This…… is nothing…… Will…… Recover immediately……”
“Is it------”
Hearing Ayano’s broken up reply, Kazuma answers without thinking.
“I say…… Just what the hell is wrong with you?”
“……Onii-san should take half or more of the responsibility for it.”
“Ohh?”
He looks at Ren who is murmuring to himself, showing a smile on his face that makes one get a nasty premonition. Seeing this, Ren tries to run away, but it is already too late.
“Uuuuuuug--------Uuuuuuugg------!”
The boy who has his cheeks being pinched, a cute cry comes out from his mouth. Even so, Kazuma did not stop, but continues to pull his brother’s cheeks.
“Do you have the right to say such things? When your beloved onii-san is in a crisis, who was it that pretended to have seen nothing, and then to talk to me as though such a thing never happened? You really are something.”
“That…… That is not even considered a crisis!”
Ren who is finally released from the evil clutches acts unlike his usual self, and rebuts.
“You obviously dodged so easily------ ugh……”
But, his glory lasted no longer than a few seconds------ When the boy’s eyes met Ayano’s scary stare, he shuts up instantly.
A voice that seemed as though it came from the depths of hell said:
“…… I am so sorry. They were all so easily dodged by him.”
“Ah…… Erm…… I……”
Ren doesn’t know how to explain at all, cold sweat running all over his body.
(That is why I don’t want to be involved in this……)
His eager wish was not heard by the heavens. No, even if the deities heard it, just how effective would it be against the two that are just like stars of death------
(I am such an unfortunate child……)
Shrouded under the gaze of the two, Ren sighs deeply.
